I think people pay way too much attention to seat height and shy away from alot of off road focused bikes. I took an Adv course and once I started stopping off road with my butt off the seat consistently I was fine. You have to plan for off camber roads at stop signs and red lights but it becomes second nature after a while. If you’re riding two up it’s different. I ride a 701 enduro at 5’11” and it’s not been a problem. The ground clearance and suspension travel is worth it gentlemen. Don’t let a spec sheet discourage you!
Hello Bob, To me, height is not the relevant measurement to be concerned with. I am 3" taller than my wife but have a shorter inseam than she does. I am 5'10" tall, with the short legs of a 5'7" person! I ride a dualsport with a 35" seat height, not an issue offroad, but it's not fun at off camber stops on the road... If I was on that bike stuck in stop and go traffic for an hour (Happened many times on trips) that would get old FAST! Thank you for stopping by and commenting! - Frank
1090r rider here, I don't think I can ever own a bike that's not tall after owning this one. I'd like for the center of gravity to be lower, yes, but I feel like I can see so much and get over stuff off the road easier with such a tall bike. I'm 6'0'' so I do get what shorter riders my have trouble with, but I like a tall bike.
Hey Frank, this was a darn good video, and the more I watch your content, the more I like it. That being said, I have a few tips for you, 1. I really liked how you were sincere about asking for likes and subscribes, but maybe you should insert that request in the middle of the video instead of the beginning. The beginning of the video should more so be focused on a good hook to get the audience excited 2. I thought your commentary was intellectual and professional, but I think you should invest in a better microphone and perhaps acoustic panels, this would greatly improve your production quality, and generally make the videos more enjoyable 3. (This one is subjective) I think it would be a good idea to put some subdued background music in your videos, it would once again, improve production quality, although I believe some people dislike stuff like that At the end of the day, this is your channel and your life, what’s most important is that your are happy, I wish you luck my friend!
Good info, thanks. Not coming to NA until '26 is surprising. The next-gen 390 adventure r is one of the few new bikes I'd consider buying. The crf300 rally has a 35.2" seat height, but yeah, 34" is pretty tall.
Thanks for the update, Frank. Makes me so glad I got my 2023 390 Adventure last year. Like you, it's getting dialed in just right for me and for the way and places where I ride it. None of these bursts that bubble. Sure, greater ground clearance with taller wheels would be good, but not if it's accomplished by just raising the bike's overall height (and therefore seat). I'm 6'0-6'1" tall. It is slightly higher as is than even I prefer. And an overall (repeated) thank you to you & Adv Matt. Your videos have really helped me make the most of this bike. Hope you're enjoying (or have enjoyed) your Dakotas trip together. Robb
Too bad that KTM is not giving you all that you desire. Perhaps they will come around and bring to North America the proper specifications. I have some interest in the super moto and have been looking at the DRZ400SM. I am living in the last decade in my mind if not my body. Thanks for the info Frank!
I assume those bikes are all going to use the new (2024) 390 Duke engine? If so, they should be pretty good. That is a sweet engine. I had the previous gen engine in a RC 390 and now have the new engine in a 390 Duke, and it is a nice improvement.
Hello Leanit, yes, the engine and the frame are coming over. Tuned a bit, as was the existing model. I just had a comment from a viewer in India, that they have had engine issues with the new 399cc version. This is the first I have heard! - Thank you for stopping by and commenting! - Frank

Hello Nate, yours is probably setup. I pulled the height number from KTM. They use the lowest settings. My 790 Adventure R is also over 25' once I had the suspension setup. It was over and inch lower when I started. - Thank you for stopping by and commenting! - Frank
I know all the short kings out there are upset about the increased seat height but im excited for it because i dont want nor can i afford a bigger adventure bike and this looks perfect for me. Waiting to see it in the flesh before deciding on it's either this or the 450mt. One thing to consider, though, is the seat may be narrower than before. So although the height as increaseed you may get some of it back.
I currently have a 2023 390 adventure and are pretty happy with it with me being 5 foot seven if this is true about the release models for next year, I will be keeping my current bike. I’m not sure if KTM is making the right movewith releasing multiple models like this. Time will tell.

@@twowheeladventures63 Hello, I think if I get a CFMoto, would enjoy it in 2025, however, I will have buyer's remorse when the KTM comes out. The weight, as you mentioned, but also the fact that it has a cable throttle, meaning no easy, or simple, cruise control option. - Frank

Hello Tony, it really seems to be the bike many have asked for, aside from a seat height increase. Add in CC... yeah its very unicorn-like! - Thank you for stopping by and commenting! - Frank
I hope there will be a standard variant which has 200mm travel and 21/18" wheel set up..which definitely reduce seat height anything less than 855mm. One more point, Seat height is not actually to worry about, any rider can master any tall motorcycle. Its a skill to learn I would say.
As a shorter person, I like tall bikes. I'm only 5'8" with a 30" inseam and I got used to the crf300 rally in about 150 miles. It is by far the tallest bike I've ever been on and I have never had a dirt bike before. I just have to pay attention to where I park.
Hello, It's a skill many do not have, nor want to learn though... I expect another model but would be surprised if it had the 21/18. I imagine they have two models with those wheels and want us to choose one of them. - Thank you for stopping by and commenting! - Frank
Hello Carter, I am in for the Adventure R myself! I travel distances and I will end up with an aftermarket seat, like the sergeant I use with my current 390. - Thank you for stopping by and commenting! - Frank
Maybe there is a “Lowering Link Kit for the top of the line model as to create a more accessible MC for shorter riders and those riders who want to reasonably “flat foot it.” But how about Low C Of G gas tanks & curb weight when fully fueled, oiled, & watered cooled ? These are key issues for me & most likely other riders. Wish KTM would still sell the current KTM 390 , maybe with less expensive suspension to be promoted as a MC that is a “Explorer Bike” bike & not as a “Adventure” motorcycle. 😎👍
Factory cruise control? On the 390 platform? That is a break in the gentleman's agreement amongst manufacturers... No factory cruise on a sub $10k bike. Unless something changes my mind, I still have limited interest in the 390 platform, but that may force the other manufacturers to catch up on their smaller displacement bikes. Kudos to KTM, if these rumors are true.
Hello Paper! The bike KTM brought to South Dakota recently did indeed have cruise. And two folks in India have reported the prototypes they are testing there have cruise. It's likely you will need to pay extra to unlock it, which has been the KTM way for a while. - Frank

@@OneOldManRiding understandable 😊😊
Correction Frank existing 390 has 177 mm rear and 170 mm front travel not 200 . So new model at 200 would be an improvement
Thank you for the the correction, that is a decent update then! And still has a lower seat height! Thank you for stopping by and commenting! - Frank
